The success of Uncharted:Drake's Fortune has caused some (including us at Game|Life) to speculate that Tomb Raider: Underworld might wind up a bit too similar, but we shouldn't be worried, says Eidos.

"We've all played Uncharted at Eidos, and we all thought it was a great game, but...apart from the premise of the storyline and the fact that he's a treasure hunter, it's actually quite different to* Tomb Raider*, it's actually more focused on combat," Eidos' Kathryn Clements told VideoGamer.com.

Underworld will be "very different to Uncharted," said Clements.

With its emphasis on gunplay, Uncharted may end up having more in common with Gears of War than Underworld, but the comparisons are going to be inevitable no matter what. There's enough room in my game library for more than one gun-toting, acrobatic treasure hunter, though.
